Modern Doll Collectors Convention® 2010
2009 Fashion Doll Runway
Ellowyne's Enchanted Adventure
The challenge was to create an original costume for Wilde Imagination's Ellowyne following the theme of Ellowyne's Enchanted Adventure.
The artists were asked to tell us what Ellowyne's Enchanted Adventure is (this may be a poem or just a paragraph or two of text).
The costume could consist of one or more pieces, with or without accessories (but would be judged solely on the outfit itself). Each artist was also to include a photo and brief biography.
All costumes - along with the Ellowyne Wilde dolls modelling them - were auctioned at the runway event.
The costumes were judged on originality, creativity and workmanship, following the theme, "Ellowyne's Enchanted Adventure".
The 2009 charity was the Carrie
Tingley Hospital (CTH) associated with the University of New Mexico
Medical Center, named after Carrie Tingley, wife of
then-Governor Clyde Tingley, who felt a hospital was needed for
children of the state who were suffering from polio.
Carrie Tingley Hospital houses a 24-bed inpatient
unit and conducts 21 specialized clinics for children from birth
to 21 years of age. A community outreach program visits 16
communities throughout New Mexico, enabling rural patients to be
seen by CTH doctors and staff. Surgery is performed at University
Hospital. All children who are residents of New Mexico may
receive services. Rehabilitation is in-house under the care of
board-certified doctors and therapists. Carrie Tingley Hospital
has a full service orthotics and prosthetics department to meet
all the children's needs.
Over 85 percent of patient encounters at Carrie Tingley Hospital are with children who have chronic conditions, requiring complex specialty care only available at Carrie Tingley Hospital and the UNM Health Sciences Center. With a growth in patient volume of over 55% in recent years, Carrie Tingley Hospital is expanding these highly specialized services.
Our runway auction this year managed to raise $5000 for CTH.
